EXCLUSIVE: Thierry Klifa’s The Richest Woman In the World starring Isabelle Huppert as French billionaire Liliane Bettencourt has seduced global distributors ahead of its Out of Competition premiere in Cannes.
Playtime has sold the film to Germany and Austria (Neue Visionen), Switzerland (Frenetic Films), Spain (Caramel Films), Italy (Europictures), Australia and New Zealand (Palace Films), Israel (New Cinema), Portugal (Pris), Poland (Galapagos), Greece (Rosebud.21), Hungary (Cirko Film), Bulgaria (Cinelibri), and the Baltics (Bestfilm).
The film is loosely inspired by the titular real-life heir to the L’Oreal cosmetics fortune whose unlikely friendship with a dandy-writer-photographer in Paris to whom she gifted more than €1bn was the subject of a personal, social, financial and political scandal.
